Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) is a protein that senses DNA in the cytosol, where it comes from either an infectious invader or a damaged nucleus and sets off an immune response that ultimately results in the activation of T cells. STING agonists are among the strategies that have been tested in hopes they would increase the response rate to checkpoint blockade. Now, back-to-back papers in the Aug. 21, 2020, issue of Science have detailed the preclinical development of orally available STING agonists.
